New
Appointment System
(48 Hour Access)
To improve access for our patients the Practice now offers appointments within
48 hours (2 working days). The majority of our appointments are available to
book on the day, however, we would like to inform you that pre-bookable
appointments with the Doctors are available upon request. Should you require
them, there will be small number of appointments available to book up to 8 weeks
in advance.
Telephone
Appointments
In
addition to the new appointment system the Practice also provides access to your
GP by telephone. You can now
arrange a "telephone consultation", which may be appropriate for
discussing test results, changes to your medication and reviewing ongoing
conditions.
It
is well known that 80% of what GPs diagnose they do by speaking to you rather
than by examination, therefore the telephone can be used safely for a lot of a
doctor's work.
Hopefully this will be useful for patients, saving them the time and
inconvenience of coming to the Surgery.
